On a nail, near the door, Gwynplaine saw his esclavine and his cape hung up, as they hang up the clothes of a corpse in a dead-house. Just then he had neither waistcoat nor coat on. Behind the van something was laid out on the deck at the foot of the mast, which was lighted by the lantern. It was a mattress, of which he could make out one corner.
"Put it in the dead-house with the other creatures. I will attend to the funeral in the evening or to-morrow. Don't keep me now, children." "But I thought you had just come from mother," said Apollo. "No. When I went to her she was asleep. Don't keep me, please." The woman who had brought the message had already disappeared down the long straight walk. Iris took to her heels and ran after her.
'I wish, Mr Inspector, said she, in a very small voice, 'to be taken by you to the dead-house. 'To the dead-house, Miss Whichello, ma'am! said the iron Tinkler, hardly able to conceal his astonishment, although it was against his disciplinarian ideas to show emotion. 'There is a dead man in there, Mr Inspector, whom I knew under very different circumstances more than twenty years ago.
Shortly after the death, there is a short service in the courtyard of the house, which, with the entrance, is hung in costly mourning, if the deceased was rich. The body is then carried in the car to the dead-house, attended by the priests, the male members of the family, and a procession of torch-bearers, if that can be afforded.
I turned to the woman and asked: "Is there any secluded place where she may sleep undisturbed till she wakes " "No, there is none but what is crowded with the sick and dying in all this island." "I must have some place." "There is only one spot that is quiet." "What one?" "The dead-house." I shuddered. "No, not there. See," said I, and I handed her a piece of gold.
Soon it was almost done; but before we set the last bricks, which were shaped in squares like the clay lump that we use for the building of farmeries and hinds' houses in Norfolk, I thrust a torch through the opening and looked for the last time at the treasure chamber that was also a dead-house.
On that night, however, I did not see him, as he had gone over to the gipsy camp. When I heard that he was dead I could scarcely believe it, so, to set my mind at rest, and to satisfy myself that Mab would be in no further danger from his insolence when she walked abroad, I visited the dead-house and saw his body.
"I suspect that he is a subject for the dead-house rather than the hospital," observed the captain. "Why, so I believe," cried the seaman, placing his hand on the mate's heart, and then lifting up his arm, it fell motionless by his side. Captain Stanhope ascertained that the man had been seen to fall down, apparently in a drunken fit and had not since uttered a word.
'I don't say anything, Daisy, as I don't want to figure in a libel action; but I should like to know why Miss Whichello went to the dead-house to see the body. 'Did she go there? are you sure? exclaimed the chaplain, much surprised. 'I can believe my own eyes, can't I! snapped Mrs Pansey.
European civilisation stinks of the dead-house. "Jam foetet...." Europe has called in the grave-diggers. Asia is on the watch. On June 18, 1916, at the Imperial University of Tokyo, Rabindranath Tagore, the great Hindu, spoke as follows: "The political civilisation which has sprung from the soil of Europe and is overrunning the whole world, like some prolific weed, is based upon exclusiveness.
